1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common neonatal metabolic disorder. Although it has been understood to be a monogenic disease, some CH patients are reported to carry two or more variants at different genes. Here, ten permanent congenital hypothyroidism (PCH) patients were retrospectively reviewed, with elevated levels of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone and levothyroxine dependence during follow-up between 2015 and 2019. Each affected individual carried digenic variants, which were heterozygous at two of pathogenic genes. In total, five pathogenic genes,
